Rap Sessions and the Trayvon Martin Foundation present:
America’s Most Wanted: Hip-hop, the Media & the Criminalization of Black and Brown Youth
From Mike Brown and Jordan Davis to Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin, a staggering number of Black and Brown men and boys have experienced the fatal outcome of the misguided perception that too many Americans hold concerning their identity.
